2002 zo6 427 ls3......Oil pressure started acting up 0-45 sometimes 60 then back to 0....replaced oil sensor and now it full sweeps when u turn key on but stays on 0 and dash says xxx oil pressure.....any thoughts? Oil appears good,engine dosent seem to be making any noise other than normal valvetrain noises. Thanks

Have you tried a mech gauge?
Does the LS3 have a port on the side of the block up front drivers side below the alternator?
you could check it there.
I wouldn't run it more than you have to though.
